U-Line 1000 and 2000 Series Code E6 Means a Shorted Thermistor 2

What E6 means

On U-Line 1000 Series beverage centers like the 1215BEV and 2000 Series models like the 2224DWR, E6 is posted when Thermistor 2 reads shorted. The second temperature sensor is passing a signal the control treats as a direct short, which is not a real temperature. E6 stays on the display while the control manages without that sensor. Should the sensor read open instead, you would see E2.

Common causes of E6

Thermistor 2 has shorted
The sensor wire is pinched or its insulation is worn
Corrosion or dampness where the sensor plugs in

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the unit off, wait one minute and switch it on again. 2. Keep spills and condensation away from the rear of the cabinet. 3. Check the interior with a thermometer. 4. Do not open covers. 5. If E6 returns, call us.

! Why to stop there

The code points to a sensor circuit that only a meter can judge
Different causes need different parts, so we test before ordering
Pricing is given up front and the work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
